      Interesting read. Here’s a link without the paywall: https://archive.ph/20260507223322/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-27/why-china-s-deepseek-qwen-and-moonshot-are-a-worry-for-us-ai-rivals

      Edit:

      Anthropic has accused DeepSeek, Moonshot and another Chinese AI lab, MiniMax, of “industrial-scale distillation attacks” — illegally extracting capabilities from its proprietary Claude model using 24,000 fraudulent accounts to gain an edge

      Anthropic’s says:

      Illicitly distilled models lack necessary safeguards, creating significant national security risk

      So open weight models are a national security risk? Guess we’d all better pay subscriptions, let the data centers be built, and let a couple companies building proprietary models have a monopoly to protect our security, then. 🙄

        Poor things, they paid fairly all the data harvested from us, creators and publishers and now the Chinese have that data for “free”
